This is a view of what is going on at the 5th avenue Apple store on Friday morning....Okay were we the only ones that thought the iPhone was going to start being sold at 6:00 am???  God this makes the line standers even more pathetic than we once thought.  At least the weather is better but really we are more excited about this whole thing being over with and our lives going back to normal on Monday....oh wait, we forgot, the iPhone is going to change our lives as we know them...

The line now wraps around the GM building....

Earlier we showed you where the party house was this summer. Well here are some of the C list models you may find yourself next to this weekend at the Pink Elephant House simply called "The Estate"

We love it when Models pretend to eat:

Here are pictures taken 10 minutes ago outside the 5th Avenue Apple store.  It is crazy hot and humid out.  We hope these guys are enjoying the 10 seconds of fame they will be getting from this little stunt of theirs.

Greg Packer of Long Island wins the retard award for being the first person in line for the Apple iPhone at their 5th avenue store.  Wow.  I mean at first when we heard he set up camp on Monday almost a whole WEEK before the big event, we thought to ourselves "what idiot would waste his time doing that?!"  Now, based on the bags of scooby doo snacks and gatorade, we're pretty sure the things he is seeing outside the store on 5th avenue are far more interesting than anything going on in his life in Long Island, and we approve of his cultural enlightenment experience...

Apple Store, 5th Avenue stairs 

Yesterday, Kelly Clarkson did a show on the General Motors Building Plaza outside the 5th Avenue Apple Store. Today, The Fray is there performing...humidity aside, it is becoming a semi-Disney-World-like environment on that plaza.  This iPhone hoopla is getting out of control.  We remember when people frequented that plaza for a casual lunch date, or a breeze through the Apple store with their pooch (see arrow), asking questions entirely unrelated to that phone:

There was little to report on that day save for the woman wearing that god awful scruncie and the boy looking at porn:

We won't dare check out the sceen inside the store today or for a considerable period after the release of the phone that is supposedly going to turn our world upsidedown this Friday...

Believe it or not, The New York Times today reports that a new poll shows that not only are young americans leaning left, but they don't care if the President smoked pot.  We aren't sure why there needed to be a poll to confirm this, or why this is "news" at all.  Young people have always been left!  Have they forgotten the old adage that if you're not liberal when you are young, you have no heart, and if you are not conservative when you are older, you have no brain?

In 1996, a member of the "world's most exclusive club" decided to start a revolution on a random Thursday each June.  No, this didn't involve opening up the upstairs of Cipriani's downtown to the "normal" folk, this was a much bigger phenomenon.  It was in mid June in '96 that Trent Lott, the senator from Mississippi, decided to put in place "Seersucker Thursdays" for the entire Senate Republican Senators to uphold.  This has become dubbed the "Annual Rite of Washington Summer" after Lott decided it was time to revive the long-forgotten tradition and show that "the Senate isn't just a bunch of dour folks wearing dark suits and...red or blue ties." Hmmm...let's take a look at the picture below, nope the seersucker does nothing to take away the dourness, maybe stealing some outfits from the gays posted on below would be a more productive way to do this.

Everyone was getting frisky at Stereo by the Shore...and gettin' some necky at Pink Elephant/Tenjune...

Drinking cheap liquor out of brown paper bags is not something new.  Though this practice is most likely to be attributed to the "bum" or "hobo" population, we think that it is equally common among underage college students.  These pictures were taken on Friday afternoon at Sheep's Meadow in Central Park and we must say that we were rather happy to be seeing the brown baggin' out in full effect, (p.s. they were listening to Bob Marley on their small ipod speakers), ah....Takes us back, takes us back.....

As reported earlier, last Friday Pink Elephant in Southampton somehow convinced giant Rachel Hunter to host their party.  We, however were more impressed with the arrival of Ole Sandburg (on right):

Ole is the founder of VOSS water and is rarely seen out partying.  Besides being the man responsible for bringing in the tall blonde Norweigan women who help promote his famous water around the city and Hamptons in the summer, he's a good guy.  He also is helping to make sure that you are staying hydrated in between the bottles of Belvedere.

The Verrazano Narrows Bridge has to be one of the most beautiful bridges in the 5 Boroughs.  Straddling the mouth of New York Harbor, linking Staten Island to Brooklyn, it was completed in 1964, and was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1981 (still the longest in the United States).  The bridge marks the start of the New York Marathon, and its namesake is Italian navigator Giovanni Da Verrazano. 

Every ship that enters New York Harbor has to pass under this magnificent bridge, and almost every ship in the world is built to specifications in order to pass under the bridge. 

Another great fact is that it feeds into the Belt Parkway, a strip of highway where you can always feed yourself with the many Frankfurter trucks, as our Grobmutter would say.

And for those of you gay and lesbian sailors out there, you can join the Knickerbocker Sailing Association, a gay-friendly sailing group that sails under the Verrazano during New York Heritage's Gay Pride Week (which was this past week, June 17-24th). 

Looks like Olivia Palermo will be hoping on a Hampton Jitney for a ride out to East Hampton on the 23rd of June to "host" a launch party for Izzy Gold's summer line of clothes at the Blue & CreamLola.

Olivia and boyfriend Brad Leinhardt for the cover of Japanese Elle. Other guests will include among others Francesca Wilson. The Blue and CreamLola will also be hosting a few other events this weekend, including a photography showcase for Jamie Newman on Saturday from 4-7pm, and a crunk trunk showcase for Madison Harding from 12-4pm on Sunday the 24th:
